But you're correct - am I doing an injustice to my collection? Probably. I'm only keeping what grabs me, what I feel is worth the effort now. But in the future, things could change - I may revisit an album with new, expanded tastes, and realise it's a gem. This has already happpend, if I'm honest - the Notwists "Neon Golden". I'm justifying my actions to myself by feeling I'm doing in injustice to most of my collection right now by having too much music - this allows me to spend more time on the stuff I could love now. And maybe my tastes may never change ;o) So very right, and here we have the quandary….I’ve given the music a chance, but it doesn’t impact on me immediately so I remove it.

These days of iTunes downloads, hypemachine links, CD baby specials, one just ends up having soo much to listen to. To be quite honest, a lot of it is worth it to keep, but you must actually listen to it, and I just don't get to it all. I always fear I listened once and it didn't immediately catch me, so I moved on. Now I go and delete/garbage it and then realize I have done a huge injustice to my collection. Kudos to you, one who can let go, and know it is the right thing to do. It is either this or get a larger external drive...and yes, that is what I will end up doing, don't hate me...
